The Eastern Argus walked up the

that State Treasurer Burleigh pursued a
questionable course in employing the
American Bank Note Company to cngrave
the new State Bonds. The Argus, unlike
most Democratic paper, will do the square
thing when it finds itself in error and
makes the "amende honorable" in this
case as follows:
With reference to the new State bonds,
complaint in regard To the procurement
of which was made in communication
to the Argus some time since, we have
now to say that we have looked into the
matter carefully, and are satisfied that
the course pursued by State Treasurer
Burlegh was wise and for the best inter
est of the State. We are gratificd to say
this all the more because we have long
known Mr. Bureigh and have always re-
sarded him as honest and straight-for-
ward in his dealings. That opinion of
him remains unchanged.
